I didn't even like the Ridge Racer games as a kid. But I played this one just so I could watch the intro, over and Over and Over. This is one of (if not my all-time) favorite introduction to any video game that has ever been made. Thank you for uploading this. I feel like im back in 1996 again :)
Ridge Racer has never been one of my favourites, but this fantastic intro has been in my mind since the first day I saw it back in 1999. I miss those good times.
OMG!! What an amazing game. Namco put so much into this game. The last Ridge Racer game we would see on the PSX. Truly a work of art. Just another great game from another great time. The 90s were all about making great games that would stay with you forever. Bravo Namco.
i dunno why, but this is as timeless as CGI gets. i dunno what magic namco put into this intro but it is still so damn smooth on the eyes after 13 years
Ah, man, I hated racing games but I fell in love with this. Just everything was so perfect about this game. I honestly fell in love with this game....totally... Oh yeah and remember its a guys face....anyone else remember that?
this is a perfect example of a great videogame intro..and how overpowered RTS is lol.u drive that car,pass everyone after the second turn,dust everyone soooo bad that u can pick up a random chick in the middle of the race and cross the finish line in first place with no one in the rear view..damn lmao brings back memories =)
I would be glad to have a Namco classic collection instead of any remake: Ridge Racer, Ridge Racer Revolution, Rage Racer and Ridge Racer Type 4 in a single disc or cartridge.
so does anyone notice the impressing graphics to this intro... i mean its definitely nothing special nowadays but i mean.. damn... thats a playstation... playstation 1... i still argue this game had the greatest graphics at least in the intro... though i havent played all psx games so im sure others can rival it... a friend said Final Fantasy 7 was real good... either way this game started it all in race games for me...
Reiko's walking along a race track during a race and on the way one of her high heels breaks so she hitches a ride from an RTS driver who STILL manages to cross the finish line unscathed? What's going on here? I'm sorry, but this intro has baffled me ever since I first watched it.
The game of my childhood.
Same
Driver: "Well, I DID leave the others in the dust. Might as well take home TWO prices."
This intro just showed how much effort was put on this game. Makes new racing games look bad.
This is one of the bestests games for the ps1
Such an amazing graphics for a 1998 game.
Never heard of this game and thought it was circa 2004 based on the graphics
@@roddylee6472 this is not how thr game looks
when i was a kid i watched this intro like 5 times in a row for liking it too much
The best intro EVER!!!
By far the best ridge racer to date... And that intro is the greatest ever
Omg! The memories are overflowing.!!! Late 80's early 90's baby!!!!!! The last and best generation!!!!
Michael Castro You Aint Lyin Baby!!
There is no decade like the 1980s and 1990's. The 2000s r not even close to the joy that comes from 1980s and 1990's.
+Michael Castro Good Ol' Times, baby!!!
Totally get that vibe!
The fucking nostalgia, it was 1999 when i first played this. Was too young to admire the class of this game..

OMG!! What an amazing game. Namco put so much into this game. The last Ridge Racer game we would see on the PSX. Truly a work of art. Just another great game from another great time. The 90s were all about making great games that would stay with you forever. Bravo Namco.

Urban Fragments if anyone's looking for the name of the song. Grooveshark it.

Jay18fan you got all 320 cars?!?!
The music player is the one of the best things in the game
i used to dance to this song as a kid before i started up the game. good times :)
this is a perfect example of a great videogame intro..and how overpowered RTS is lol.u drive that car,pass everyone after the second turn,dust everyone soooo bad that u can pick up a random chick in the middle of the race and cross the finish line in first place with no one in the rear view..damn lmao brings back memories =)

I LOVE this intro, brings back so many good memories
context: homie was so far out in front he picked up a honey on the way to the finish line.
I remember playing this vividly
Dang! A PS1 intro feels more hyped than games nowadays
Omg I cried when I watched this
Wie ich das Spiel geliebt habe
I would be glad to have a Namco classic collection instead of any remake: Ridge Racer, Ridge Racer Revolution, Rage Racer and Ridge Racer Type 4 in a single disc or cartridge.
every time i watch dis it puts a smile on my face

1:35 what amazing transition! I love it!
Just love this game. My very first racing game on my original playstation
Now that brings me back.(Nostalgia)
Who here would just drive by and not risk losing the race?
I remember playing this game. I was hooked. Awesome game.
Back when racing games used to be soooo good and didn't need to resort to using lootboxes bullcrap.
very memorable intro, played this game for hours!
LOVED IT! Took me right back - thank you
feel soo young right now
I played the hell outta this game in college. Damn I feel old.
This brings back many memories
Memories
She is just lucky I wasn't driving, I often hit the curbs and railings while racing.
i love this intro so much, so cool, so refreshing and so sensual.
the singer is kimara lovelace new york vocalist
so does anyone notice the impressing graphics to this intro... i mean its definitely nothing special nowadays but i mean.. damn... thats a playstation... playstation 1... i still argue this game had the greatest graphics at least in the intro... though i havent played all psx games so im sure others can rival it... a friend said Final Fantasy 7 was real good... either way this game started it all in race games for me...
Thumbs up if you're born in the 80's!
Rage Racer intro beats everything :D
Reiko's walking along a race track during a race and on the way one of her high heels breaks so she hitches a ride from an RTS driver who STILL manages to cross the finish line unscathed?
What's going on here? I'm sorry, but this intro has baffled me ever since I first watched it.
Rotates nicely, good image quality..
After Ridge Racer Type 4 Namco stop giving a fuck about making good game intros sans Tekken 5 and Tekken Tag Tournament 2!
true and i dont understand why they did that.
i mean .. look, this intro literally burned into my brain ...
thats why i will never forget this game.
Nice songs, nice video game.
este juego es lo mejor que tuvo ps1, hasta la fecha tengo en todas las rolas y las escucho cuando condusco por las mañanas en mi motocicleta
*takes trip down memory lane*

Este juego marcó muchísimo mi infancia, descargare todos los soundtracks para recordar :')
